• Hold both the function and the hiring leaders accountable to agreed service levels and a rigorous hiring process, and serve as a trusted, integrated voice on talent market trends in executive forums.

Executive Recruiting & Talent:

• Partner closely with the broader talent team and their external search partners on executive recruiting and personally own a select portfolio of their most senior and sensitive searches end-to-end, from research through interview debriefs and finalist recommendations.
